Yes. There are 2 bolts for adjusting -- the lower bolt (A) is the vertical adjustment, the upper bolt (B) is the horizontal adjustment. See this diagram:

Sorry I think I am too dump~

How big is the paper do I need? And should I prepare the paper and draw the lines before I aligned the car with the paper?

If so, how to determine the H line? It's kinda confuse.

Please help... thanks~
